VIdeo Post

It's been a long time since I posted a song. I just got my built-in computer microphone to kind of work, so I threw this one together. Will it take me six months to post another one? Probably.

I started doing a Lou Reed 'New York' thing, and then wanted some brass. I wish my other horns worked, but this is a start. Also, I got a little overzealous with the drum machine.

Spring Break

No more law school for a little while means that I don't feel too guilty taking a few hours out of the day to record. Ironically, I just purchased a drum machine, and the first thing I did was write a waltz...

A while ago I wrote that I wished for something (though I don't remember what) and then wrote "if wishes were fishes, then I would have two. Two tasty fishes for tasty fish stew". Recently recalling that line, I decided to make a song out of it.

C-F-C-F-G-C

C-[C-Am-C]-G-F- C

If wishes were fishes, then I would have two

Two tasty fishes for tasty fish stew

I'd eat all my fishes and drink all my wine

If wishes were fishes were mine.

If wantings were hauntings, then I would have two

Two helpful hauntings to watch after you

Two diligent hauntings to make sure you're fine

If wantings were hauntings were mine

If earnings were yearnings, then I would have two

A house and a job to take care of you

An earning of more than enough to get by

If yearnings were earnings were mine

But wishes aren't fishes, and so I have none

All that I want is all that we've done

And I just can't wait to see what we do

With wishes and fishes and you.

Deep Cut #1

Haven't got a chance to record lately, but maybe I'll end up taking advantage of the incoming weather this week.

I've been listening to some of my old stuff. I wrote this one almost two years ago. I was definitely going for a Dire Straits meets Todd Rundgren sound. A little heavy on the lead guitar and terrible drumming, but it's not all that bad.

Christmas Post

Just finished recording this year's Christmas album. I think it was written and recorded in about 6 hours, but I'm pretty satisfied with the result. I made up 6 songs, and did 3 parodies. This one's a parody of the most viewed video on youtube. Also it is a true testament to how bored I get when shopping for clothes for people who aren't even me.

Song from the summer

Here's a song I did over the summer. I actually like the chords and the lyrics which is unusual. Pardon my terrible drumming.

Chords are:

C Am E+ Am C G7

C Am E+ Am C C#dim

E7 Am

F G

or something like that.

A break from law stuff

Here's a Halloween song. It's not so static-y so that's nice. Simple lyrics, easy melody, sing along with your kids. I've got a lot of good ideas for my Christmas Album and I bet you guys just can't wait. This is Mira making lion mouth.
